Sally likes to orchestrate and organize things.
The Rabbi at Temple Reyim notes the joy it brings.
Family and friends bear witness on this day.
The girl enters adulthood in her own special way.
Apps and micro brew at Trillium - hearty;
Newton is abuzz, while Boston reenacts a tea party
Shaboozey and more on an art makers' space dance floor
Into the night, you couldn't ask for more.
We all know it's all about you;
But - What will baby sister do?
I'm sure it will be no surprise;
By your example, she too will rise.
Time does fly, or so it seems;
I want to thank the Academy for all it means.
When it's Nora's turn to take the spotlight;
Once again we'll dance into the night.
Note: Sam and Norman were brothers. They married Toby and Muriel, respectively. Sam and Toby beget: Randy, Lynn and Deborah. Norman and Muriel beget: Peggy, Jane and Hope. Peggy married Bill and they became parents to Sydney. Sydney married Tal - Now they are parents to Bat Mitzvah girl Sally and her younger sister Nora. Mazel Tov, Sally!
